Chances to transfer from CC to UIUC with mediocre GPA

[Johnyi]

I want to transfer to U of I urbana champaign... but the thing is

Im a sophomore at a community college right now, and I have a 3.1 GPA currently, and if i get a 4.0 this semester i will be bumped up to a 3.3. I want to attend U of I urbana champaign starting my junior year, what are my chances?

I also failed a class my first semester, and was put on academic probation. But the very next semester i got a 3.5 and retook the failed class and got a B.

I didnt do so well in high school... 21 ACT and 2.2 GPA

I plan to major in cellular and molecular biology.

BUT... i did VERY bad in high school... 21 act and a 2.2 GPA, i just didnt have my priorities straight... but I am trying to catch up academically. I live in Illinois also.

First thing that came to mind is this: Why UIUC? If you want to stay within Illinois to get favorable tuition, why not other state schools that might give you a better chance of getting in?

It was just always my dream to go to UIUC, family members went there, i visited and had a great time.
